On This Walking Tour

Cloud Park
Nestled between the stone patio at Vendetta’s and The Lodge at Vail, Cloud Park invites kids to explore oversized white clouds they can climb on, under, and around. They can also create their own melodies by playing the park’s interactive hanging chimes, filling the air with music.

Pirate Ship Park
At the base of Gondola One, Pirate Ship Park will spark your kids’ imaginations. They’ll be shouting “ahoy!” from the crow’s nest, walking the plank, swinging, climbing nets, and battling the green sea monster. The best part? You can watch from the sunlit deck at Los Amigos while enjoying a margarita and chips.

Ford Park/Playground Ford Park
With slides, climbing features, swings, and fort hideouts, Ford Park’s playground will keep kids entertained for hours. For some action, check out the basketball court or open grassy space. Afterward, relax at the covered picnic tables. The park also offers Betty Ford Alpine Gardens, the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater, and scenic views of Gore Creek, making it a perfect spot for a full day of exploration.
